If anyone could make us believe in the power of facial yoga, it's baby-faced Taiwanese host Dee Hsu. In addition to her good bone structure, the glib-tongued host is also blessed with facial contours and her face always looks toned.

It seems her youthful, chiselled visage can be credited to facial exercises. If you scroll through the 39-year-old's Instagram account, you would see that she is quite fond of working out her facial muscles with facial yoga.

Just like how you would hit the gym to work out your thighs to make them firmer and leaner, facial exercise is founded on the belief that stretching out your face muscles will tone, lift and boost volume.

Facial exercises works on your facial muscles to increase their strength. The stronger the muscles underneath the skin, the firmer and tighter it looks on the surface. By doing so, you are actually re-contouring your face.

As we age, we experience a loss in collagen which in turn results in sagging, drooping and wrinkles. When you build up your facial muscles, you are plumping up the spots that would normally see a reduction in collagen such as your cheek area.

So if you're starting to obsess about the little creases on your face and are contemplating to go under the needle or knife, here are some fun facial yoga moves to combat those wrinkles-in-the-making.

How to do it: Place your index, middle and ring finger on your jawline. Breathe in from your nose and move your fingers towards your ears. Puff out air from your mouth. Repeat this step ten times. It should feel like you're blowing out candles.
